Weelllllll, two blog posts in two days..going strong people! Today we have some exciting news to share with you. We’ve started a little partnership with two of my very favorite wedding vendors in Southern California, Carter & Cook Event Company and Aqua Vivus Productions. And what have we been scheming you ask? Well, guys & gals, planning a proposal can be quite the nerve wracking thing for a soon to be engaged person. So why not put that in the hands of the pros? That’s where we all come in, to save your proposally-stressed day! The lovely ladies over at Carter & Cook will help you plan/execute all the details (based on your vision of course), then Aqua Vivus and ourselves will shoot it so you can re-live the moment over and over and over (and post on facebook, etc etc).  Carter & Cook wrote about the service in more detail over on their blog HERE, so head on over to read more. Right now I give you our debut couple, Allie & Josh. We had a lovely time a few weeks ago hiding on the dock in stealth mode for this proposal, and not only was it a total blast, everything turned out perfectly. So check out the pics and video below, and join me in wishing Josh and Allie a big congrats on their engagement and upcoming marriage!

oh, and ps. MANY MANY thanks to Carter & Cook and Aqua Vivus for being so easy to work with and some pretty gosh darn awesome peeps to hang out with (drinks at the Pearl again soon? I think so. xoxoxox). Then also the band The Brightest Lights for writing this song specifically for this film..thank you!!

Hello to you all on this fine Thursday. I have something special to share with you today. As you may have noticed, we’ve been showcasing a lot of videos lately. That’s because, well, we love them! Thanks to the fabulous Tom O’Hara from AquaVivus Productions, who we’ve  partnered with to give our clients these fusion videos of still images and video (Tom does the video, we take care of the stills). Every time we have a client that books us both we pretty much throw a party because he is such a blast to work with and we’re able to take a trip to the “collaboration station” (I know, hello CHEESY….couldn’t help myself, it’s almost Friday people!!!!!).

SO, it is my pleasure to share with you the wedding of a couple I ABSOLUTELY adore. Emily and Tyler are currently on some beach drinking margaritas, so they’re probably not reading this (if you are, no internet allowed on your honeymoon!!!!), so I won’t spend too much time gushing about how much I love them. Don’t you worry, we’ll have another post of just their pictures in the future where I can go into all the details. We shot their wedding in Carmel, CA last weekend and it was quite the wedding, a little bit of country and a little bit of beach, it was perfectly them.  Emily and Tyler, you’re some of the most welcoming people I know and an absolute JOY to be around (and eat chocolate malts with). I hope you’re having a blast getting tan and I promise we’ll get together in San Francisco when you get back. Much love to you all internet and enjoy the adorableness that is Emily & Tyler (Chappy).

ps. let the video load all the way before you watch it (push play then pause and put on the patience hat. Go get some coffee, send an email…possibly to me? When you come back it will be ready for you. It’s WELL WORTH IT, I promise).
